on the alpha yo should haVE gear selector in forward to remove and install drive
at the top leading edge of the lower unit is the shift coupler make sure this is lined up with the other half above it often you can see this just by rising the drive if this is not it drop the lower put gear shift in forward and the put lower unit in forward to insure it's in the right gear the prop should not spin reverse
